06 #7 On the lot. - Bought it!

unruhly

That's funny, did it keep telling you to make a legal U turn in X number of feet. Mine did that until I figured the stuff out. Love the car

 

forgot, here is a photo of my White #8 package. I pin striped it and added the body side molding.

 

lol.
In the beginning I would drive against nav lady's advice just for the entertainment value to see how long it took her to come up with a new route.

I'm curious how much the dealer took off msrp, if you care to tell.

 

Yeah, but unfortunately not one 3000 miles from me

 

Paid $115 for the molding. I don't want the tinted windows because it makes it hard for me to see out at night.

 

Don't worry Central VA, your MPG will drop with the ambient air thermomentor.

When I got my car last Jan, (I live in Nashville, TN), weather was warm. I saw mid 50s for mpg. Wrote to all my relatives about saving gas. Then the temperature dropped. When we were haveing teens and 20s, even bundled up without the heat on in the car, my MPG dropped to the mid to upper 30s. Mealting ice off of mirrors and windows didn't help with that either. Anyway, when I heard the ICE come on and run, while nearly stopped and without cabin heat, even with the battery bars in the green, I guessed that the ICE was trying to warm something other than me. Oh, and my releatives got a break from my rentless e-mails.

Yesterday it was up in the mid 60s, and I did 200 miles, mixed 71mph I-40 driving, and up and down the hills on a bunch of rural, country roads at posted limits. When I got home, the mpg average was at 58.6.

Don't know, but I would guess that my Camry and my Prius would get about the same MPG if it were to drop into the single digits.

I still love the Prius. So smooth, so quiet. My experiences mentioned above has diriven me to places on Priuschat.com to learn how it all works, and so, everytime I think I have something figured out, I learn how little I really know. Last night I was trying to grasp that gear set that makes up the Prius's transmission.

 

Where did you get that body side molding? I tried to get that done on mine, but the dealer said that it was not available.

I did get the paint-coating-whatever it is called. I still want the invisible bra. The other day with my wife at my side, we noticed a strange looking scratch, kind of like a big X with s circle, in the metal bend/valley area on the lower part of the passenger door, with straight scratch pieces going all the way to the front and rear bumpers. It was like "AHHHHH!!" The guy I pay to hand wash the car when it gets dirty, was amazingly, able to rub out all but that wierd design on the door.

The part of the scratch from the door to the rear bumper looked like the kind that brush makes. The part at the front bumper, looked like the kind that another vehicle rubbing against your car makes. I have been so careful to stay away from brush, and to park on the outer edge of parking lots and walk. Anyway, I got to wondering if they make a spray on bra type of thing for the doors and side of the car too.
